Amazon Prime membership

✓ Legitimate charge

AMAZON PRIME or AMZN*PRIME is your Amazon Prime membership fee. Amazon Prime is a subscription that bundles together a wide range of benefits: free and fast delivery on eligible items, access to Prime Video (Amazon's streaming service), Prime Music, Prime Gaming (free games and in-game content), unlimited photo storage, and exclusive deals.

Amazon offers both monthly and annual billing. If you pay annually, you'll see one larger charge per year instead of a monthly one — this is cheaper in the long run but can be surprising when it hits. You can check your billing preference in your Prime membership settings.

Amazon occasionally offers a 30-day free trial for new members. If you signed up for a trial and didn't cancel, the membership automatically converted to a paid subscription on your trial end date.

Questions about Amazon Prime charges

Can I get a refund if I cancel Amazon Prime early?
If you haven't used any Prime benefits since your last renewal (no deliveries, no Prime Video watched), Amazon will usually refund you in full. If you have used some benefits, Amazon will offer a partial prorated refund. Go to Account → Prime → End Membership to see your refund eligibility before cancelling.
Why did my Amazon Prime charge amount change?
Amazon has increased Prime prices in recent years. If you've been a member for a long time, you may have been on a legacy price that has now been updated. Amazon should have notified you by email before the price change took effect.
Is Amazon Prime different from Amazon Prime Video?
Amazon Prime is the full membership that includes Prime Video as one of its benefits. Amazon also offers Prime Video as a standalone subscription at a lower price if you only want the streaming service and not the delivery or other perks.
How do I switch from monthly to annual Amazon Prime billing?
Go to your Amazon account, navigate to Prime Membership settings, and look for the option to switch your billing frequency. Switching to annual billing typically saves you money compared to paying month by month.
